For about 30 hours, the illusion of transatlantic unity over Ukraine was maintained. But US President Donald Trump’s response to a proposal from Russia’s Vladimir Putin shattered that.

PARIS (Reuters) -French President Emmanuel Macron said on Tuesday he was in favour of imposing new sanctions on Russia in coming days if Moscow failed to agree to a ceasefire, mentioning financial services and oil and gas as possible targets.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says he is hoping for a full and temporary ceasefire with Russia starting Monday

The weapon is made with a model aircraft engine available for approximately $16,000, according to the Ukrainian Main Intelligence Directorate.

European leaders say Russia's failure to join a ceasefire offered by Ukraine would lead to further sanctions on Moscow.

(Reuters) - Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy spoke by phone with newly elected Pope Leo XIV on Monday and said they discussed Ukrainian children abducted by Russia and a proposal from allies for a 30-day ceasefire which Moscow has so far not accepted.

Ukraine and its European allies called on Russian President Vladimir Putin to agree to a 30-day ceasefire by Monday or face a new wave of sanctions.

The Kremlin brushed off the threat of further sanctions, saying that “the language of ultimatums is unacceptable.”
